Hyperwave™ Fluctuation Technology, the most efficient heat/dry
combination on the market.

5-large Plastic trays, 15" x 15" each. 8 SF of drying.

26 Hour Timer lets you set it and forget it. Unit automatically turns off when the set time is complete.

Adjustable Thermostat 95F to 155F. Temperature range is low enough
to preserve active enzymes in fruits and vegetables. Temperature range
is also high enough to meet safety standards for dehydrating meat for
jerky. Unit turns on automatically when thermostat is in use.

Turbo Charged Parallexx Horizontal-Airflow Drying System. Complete drying system in rear. (includes thermostat and fan). The Parallexx design, with a temperature controlled, fan forced, horizontal drying system mounted in the rear is exclusive to the 2000 and higher Series. The same features found in Excalibur's USDA approved $3500.00 commercial model...in an affordable home unit. Cool air is drawn in the back, heated, and distributed evenly across each tray. During the dehydration process, warm air removes moisture from foods and is pushed out the front of the machine.

Horizontal drying provides even drying, eliminating tray re-stacking. Fast drying... you don't lose heat because you don't have to take your Excalibur apart to change the tray sequence.

Adjustable thermostat allows perfect drying every time. Range: 95º -145º F. The adjustable thermostat can be set for a specific temperature, in increments of 5º F

Square design increases drying area "25%" with no holes in center of tray. The square design makes it easy to spread puree for fruit leathers and roll-ups, using Paraflexx® Food Drying Sheets, plastic wrap, or parchment paper tray liners.

Versatile... Trays can be removed to expand drying chamber.

Removable door and trays - An Excalibur does not have to be taken completely apart to check drying or add more food. Each tray rests on its own support, making it easy to slide each one in and out, as needed. Especially useful when removing thinner slices that finished drying first. It only takes a few seconds to check a tray, thus your food doesn't have time to cool to any material degree.

As stainless steel appliances have come
into fashion one question remains- is stainless steel better than
plastic for food dehydration? Well it depends- Not all stainless steel
is created equal just like not all plastics are the same. Some people
are under the misconception that stainless steel is healthier and of
higher quality than plastic. However, it all depends on the grade of
stainless steel. Lower grades of stainless steel can be mixed with
other metals which can change in color, density and safety when coming
into contact with heat and food.

Excalibur has been the leader in Dehydration technology for over 35 years.We lead the commercial dehydrator market with our premier-quality, double-walled stainless steel dehydrators so
we know the important features that are mandatory for health and safety
when it comes to dehydration and working with stainless steel.

When looking at a stainless steel dehydrator here are the questions you MUST ask when it comes to your health and safety:

1)What type of stainless steel is the dehydrator made out of?-Not
all stainless steel is the same- to make it stainless, cheaper-lower
grades are mixed with other metals which can change the color, density
and safety when coming into contact with heat and food.

2)What are the Trays made of? -Many
low grade stainless steel dehydrators do not come with stainless steel
trays- they are sold with trays that are Chrome plated and/or nickel
plated.Keep in mind your food is setting on these trays. Over time this plating can chip off in your foods and rust.Chrome
plating usually makes use of hexavalent chromium (Cr+6). Many studies
in the last decade have shown it to be dangerous citing evidence that
hexavalent chromium causes lung cancer and other serious health
conditions.Because of these health concerns, the chrome plating process has come under increased regulations in the U.S.
based on chrome’s hazardous and environmentally toxic properties. In
order to avoid increased regulations many companies have moved their
operations overseas.-Most Important---If you purchase a stainless steel dehydrator-- Make sure that the Trays are 100% stainless steel.In our commercial dehydrators we use only 100% stainless steel trays.

3)Where is the dehydrator manufactured?-beware of low-grade stainless steel coming out of China- and chrome plated trays from overseas. Excalibur is proud to be a U.S. made product.

4)Is the Dehydrator a green product?Stainless
steel is not green. It is a necessity in commercial applications—but
not needed for home use. Support Green Products, Buy Recycled, Buy
Green!

5)How long has the manufacturer been in business and what is the warranty?-Beware of companies that purchase low grade dehydrators from China and put their name on it. Parts might not be available when needed and many of them cook foods rather than dehydrate them.

6)Are the edges rounded and seamless for easy cleaning? Low
grade units will have sharp 90 degree corners and have cracks/crevices
where the metal comes together. This is where food can become lodged
creating the perfect environment for mold and bacteria to grow.

High
quality stainless steel is appropriate for businesses but it’s much too
expensive for home owners- the key word is high quality stainless.Anyone
can make a low grade stainless steel dehydrator and include chrome
plated trays, but you do not know what has been mixed with the stainless
steel – and chrome plated trays can pose health concerns.

Some
customers have asked us to make a stainless steel home dehydrator like
our commercial dehydrators. To produce a homeowner-priced stainless
steel dehydrator, we would have to seriously downgrade components- going
to single-wall construction, for example, which has rough edges and is
hot to the touch. We pride ourselves in providing high quality products
and support using green products whenever possible. Stainless steel is
appropriate for commercial uses but unnecessary for home use. Here are some key reasons why Polycarbonate is better than stainless steel for home use:

Excalibur's Tray Screen Material is made from FDA Approved Polypropylene #5 which is one of the safest plastics for direct food contact.We use polycarbonate as the Case material because it is virtually indestructible however; we use polypropylene #5 for the parts that your food sets on because it is the safest plastics for food contact available. **
Please note that food does not come into contact with polycarbonate-
the plastic that your food sets on in the Excalibur is polypropylene NOT
polycarbonate**

FDA Approved polycarbonate is safe when used at low temperature under 160 degrees F and will not give off harmful fumes like low-quality plastic dehydrators.
The use of polycarbonate plastic for food contact applications has been
and continues to be recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, the European Commission's Scientific Committee on Food,
the United Kingdom Food Standards Agency, the Japanese Ministry of
Health, Labor and Welfare, and other regulatory authorities worldwide.Important--make sure that you have FDA Approved for Food Contact polycarbonate as there are different types of polycarbonates

Polycarbonate is a natural heat insulator so it works well in dehydration, better than single walled stainless steel which can heat up and cook your foods.

Excalibur dehydrators are made in the U.S.A. Recently with so many problem products like poisonous pet food, faulty tires, and toxic toys coming out of China, buying a U.S. made products should be your first choice when it comes to the health and safety of you and your family.

Excalibur home dehydrators are green products. At Excalibur our products are designed to be environmentally conscious. We are constantly
rethinking our products to see how we can reduce our environmental
impact. The chrome plating of other manufacturers' trays is of great
concern for us not only because of the health concerns but the toxic
effect on the environment.

Excalibur has been the leader in Dehydration technology for over 35 years.We lead the commercial dehydrator market so
we know the important features that are mandatory for health and safety
when it comes to dehydration and working with stainless steel.
Ultimately we want consumers to have a great dehydration experience and
hope that providing you with some key points to look for in a dehydrator
helps to educate you as consumers.
